معنی
Record or write a communication for someone.
زمینه فرهنگی
The French are generally very formal on the phone. Even when leaving a message for a stranger, always start with 'Bonjour' and end with 'Au revoir'. Skipping these can seem rude. In Quebec, the term 'boîte vocale' is much more common than 'répondeur'. You will still 'laisser {un|m} message', but the location name changes. In many West African countries, oral communication is preferred over recorded messages. People might call multiple times rather than 'laisser {un|m} message'. Swiss French speakers are known for being very precise. When they 'laissent {un|m} message', it often includes a specific time they can be reached back.
Be Brief
When leaving a message in French, keep it under 30 seconds. French people value efficiency in voicemails.
Negative 'de'
Don't forget: 'Je n'ai pas laissé DE message'. Using 'un' here is a very common learner error.
